3️⃣Why demystify science for high school students? ✨A 9th standard student takes us behind the scenes of a science exhibition. From classroom learning to hands-on engagement, read Sania’s (name changed to protect privacy) story about her project for the school science exhibition. 📣This post is the last of a three-part series about the science exhibition at Gangamma Hombegowda Girls High School held in December 2024. 🤝🏽The IT for Change team worked closely with the students, guiding them through the process of designing their projects and their final presentation. This engagement is part of the Hosa Hejje Hosa Dishe (A New Step in a New Direction) adolescent girl empowerment project, supported by BT Group and British Asian Trust.

Yesterday, representing the Nalukai Foundation (nalukai.org), I was a panelist on a call put together by Stanford's dschool talking about how "community-driven, human-centered approaches can reshape educational technology design". (Shout-out to Olatunde Sobomehin, Brandon Nicholson, and Nick Okafor for being incredible panelists, and thank you Isabel Huff for bringing us together). We were asked how we bring the ethos and structures of our programs into formal education. I loved this question, and I spoke to the work I am doing via Unrulr (the other hat I wear) with Hillbrook School's new high school. They start and end each school year with a two week immersive, where students work on projects that relate to the communities they live and breath in. I love this redesign of a school year as it allows a student to connect all kinds of skills with real world problems and people in their back yard. Shout out to Hillbrook's Michael Peller, Annie Makela, and many others.

What does ‘Place’ mean to a child?  Our recent Windows of Thinking exhibition gave our Early Learning Centre students the stage to share their answers in their own words and imaginations! When we talk about ‘Place’ at Bialik, it’s more than a location; it’s a space that fosters creativity, wonder and connection. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and our Jewish values, our campus is designed to be a third teacher alongside our educators and families. From Fibonacci swirls in our Children’s Centre to curated learning corners, every detail supports each child’s growth. Our educators know that every child sees the world differently and this exhibition highlights those unique perspectives. It’s more than art; it’s a window into the minds of our young learners, capturing their curiosity, theories and collaborative spirit. Each piece reflects the big ideas explored this year, from science and math to language, literacy and Jewish studies, sparking meaningful connections and respect for different perspectives. Parents and families have been part of the journey too, as active contributors to our theme of ‘Place’. In the words of our principal, “When you walk around our school, you see an environment where children contribute to spaces not only physically but in ways that shape us all.” And it’s true—our students’ curiosity and sense of community inspire us daily. #windowsofthinking #jewisheducation #earlylearningjourney #placeandpurpose #jewishvalues #bialikelc #curiosityandwonder #youngmindsatwork #learningthroughplay #jewishcommunity #reggioemiliainspired #growingtogether #familyandcommunity #jewishlearning #futureofjewisheducation
